Description

Isle of Beauty, ‘Île de Beauté’, is the evocative name given to the French island of Corsica, located in the Mediterranean Sea. This is where winemaker David Clouston learnt his craft and became passionate about pale, dry Rosé.

THE SEASON
The 2025 growing season in Marlborough started with a warm spring that resulted in excellent flowering conditions and good potential yields. A cooler December and January, coupled with a dry February and March, ensured perfect ripening conditions.
HARVEST
Grapes were harvested in the very early morning from each vineyard to retain freshness and purity.
WINEMAKING
This Rosé was pressed off skins early and fermented cold in stainless steel to accentuate fruit purity. The wine was then aged on fine yeast lees for four months to gain complexity, salinity, and increased mouthfeel.
TASTING NOTES
Pale pink in colour, this Mediterranean style Rosé is savoury with aromas of white rose and freshly-cut watermelon, pink grapefruit, and sea spray. The palate is salivating, with crushed red berries, sherbet, and a lick of Pink Himalayan Salt. This sophisticated Rosé is enticing, has high energy and finishes with a mouth-watering and dry finish.
